I'd rather have Bitcask or RocksDB - something that has better crash recovery capabilities. LevelDB was marked as being prone to data corruption. DETS has similar problems when not closed properly.

Don't know where you got your information from, but LMDB is verified as the safest storage engine:

DETS is supposed to repair itself on startup. I think most crash-only systems work that way (on startup, start reading from end and find last consistent bit and chop off the rest). But there could obviously been a bug there.

I have a very modest experience with it, but when a crash happened it was game-over for it. Maybe I was doing something wrong.
